ok so I finally considering this over Toronto
Hilton Barbados a good stay? Looks expensive but are there other options? close to things or will I spend all my money on taxi? basically where to stay?

Hilton is AWESOME! Rooms are great, the pool is fantastic, your beach access would really nice as well. Once your pockets a little deep, its a good place to stay. Its very close to town which is a bonus. A bit of a hassle if you are not driving but there are taxis readily available there. A really good roti place near there at the corner on the main road (Trini Indias run it).

The Hilton is nice but during Crop Over time i did'nt get to enjoy the perks of the Hotel till my last two days in BIM. The restaurants are very expensive and the only place close to the hilton is Brown Sugar which is a reasonable place. Their Lighthouse restaurant is very nice but expensive. You'll love the beach and especially the pool because you can hop right out of the pool and walk into the ocean at your leisure. If your on the executive floor you get complimentary drinks at night. However i didnt find this out till the second to last night of my stay. The majority of my stay i was'nt in my hotel. Your best bet is to hire a driver; after paying almost 25 dollars going to the Gap and someone trying to charge me 35 returning i hired a driver. Many taxi drivers will give you their card so you can pick and choose from there. They also have a free shuttle service into Bridgetown that we waited on to return to the hotel and it never came. I complained and ofcourse had a night charged back to my card. lol...In my opinion if your partying alot then it makes no sense to stay in the Hilton. I did not really get to enjoy the perks of the Hotel because of my heavy party schedule and hanging out in the Gap. This was my Crop Over experience......
